A LOCAL couple, Mr and Mrs Stott, who recently bought the building are very kindly allowing Verity Tapp to provide a permanent venue for her Jumping Juniors gymnastics sessions.

Verity, who was in the National Gymnastics squad and trained in Exeter when she was younger, was also a South West champion.

She runs a number of gymnastics sessions for children aged from 18 months to 13 years at a variety of venues for the rural community.

Verity, her husband Michael and his parents are currently renovating the building and are very grateful to a local building supplies company who donated the paint for the outside, MCA windows who are installing new double glazing throughout the building, the Crediton Masonic Lodge who donated £300, and everyone who has helped.

Gymnastic matting will be put down in the rooms and will be acquired locally.

A grand opening is planned for January.
